Scale Mail's Rules & Regulations

 Dear brave scribes, dragons, witches, ghosts, and wandering bards,

Before you dip your quill in ink and slip your first letter into the post, we ask you to take a moment to read our Rules & Regulations. These are the shared spells that protect our magical community and keep the experience safe and joyful for everyone.

1. Be Kind

Scale mail is a place for imagination and connection. We encourage playful rivalries, fictional threats, and in-character sass - but behind every letter is a real human heart.

  • Speak (and write) with warmth and care, whether you are a villain or a valiant hero.
  • If you feel unsure whether something might hurt or offend, err on the side of kindness.
  • Support each other’s creativity and encourage new writers, no matter how fiery or shy their first words may be.

2. Be Respectful

Remember that every participant comes from a different background and has their own comfort levels.

  • Respect personal boundaries, both in-character and out-of-character.
  • Avoid using real-life personal information unless clearly agreed upon.
  • If a correspondent no longer wishes to continue, gracefully accept it as every story must have its final page. You can always email me, the creator at skye.fluent.in.fandom@gmail.com if you are stuck.
  • Ask permission before sharing or publishing excerpts of someone else’s letters.

3. Be Safe

The magic of Scale Mail relies on trust and good sense.

  • Only share mailing addresses through supported messaging services like email or direct messaging - never post them publicly.
  • If at any point you feel unsafe or uncomfortable, please contact me at skye.fluent.in.fandom@gmail.com , immediately for support and guidance.

A Final Word

When you pick up your pen here, you join a fellowship of dreamers who believe in the transportation through the use of the written word, carrying pieces of ourselves. Our shared stories are stronger when they are written with care, respect, and a little stardust.

Thank you for keeping this community as shimmering and welcoming as a dragon’s freshly polished scale.

Now, brave writer - onward to your next letter.

With ink-stained fingers and bright eyes,

The Scale Mail Team
